"Another gun shooting g goes to prison. One things for sure, this will continue as long as economic conditions in xxx remain the same. They don't care about taking a life because there life has no purpose don't you know?

I didn't say this problem is limited, but make no mistake has xxx its fair share of the murderous pie. And social economic conditions have a great deal to do with it.

um, i think that falls under the socio economic conditions. The differences are black and white...

Pretty presumptious I'd say you are. I'm not excusing his actions because of the lack of meaningful good paying jobs in xxx. Of course he's responsible for his actions. But really! Take a look around, xxx is full of soulless tempory jobs that pay around $10 an hour. Otherwise most high school educated people work part time for even lower pay and no benefits. The mindless press a button job in a factory for $10 an hour is hardly motivation for most people around here."




Now my friend was shot last June and the trial has been on for two days and continues next week. He was white and the guy who shot him for no other reason then to shoot him was for the hell of it, because he wanted to steal a car, stereo and pawn it.

This is just some stupid thinking and beliefs on that I've been reading all over the place. If someone's riding on a motorcycle and doesn't have a weapon and driving away from the person because he's scared after the first three shots, it makes no sense to keep firing away four more shots and kill someone.

I am staying neutral about this for the most part, but I don't know how dumb people can be. Let's just shoot people because we want to play victim and have no purpose in life besides get "Street Cred." This is has nothing to do with skin color or social economics. This is about getting off your a$$ and leaving the hood, and changing your mindset, take responsibility for you life, and stop making excuses. To top it off one of them said, "If my friend was minding his own business and never got on his bike, he'd still be alive."

Good lord. I agree my friend made a stupid error. He should have just called the cops and let them handle the stolen car, instead of riding after them. On the other hand, Maybe if they got a real job instead of playing victim, they wouldn't need to steal cars and shoot people, and my friend wouldn't even been involved at all.

I suppose I'm just blowing off steam, because there's moments I just don't understand some people's mentality. Let's just shoot everyone, because it's so much simpler then taking responsibility for one's life and use their brain and hey, even read M.J.'s book. And probably safer for me to ramble on here instead of the newspaper comments. I don't need to get shot because I'm mouthing off to some gangsta's telling them to get a life.

One other thing I can't stand is the guy's kid is posting free my dad. And everyone else does the same. I guess they have a mindset you just steal, kill, and there are no consequences for their actions. All I have to say is may justice be served. Doesn't matter what your skin color is, you shoot someone, you should pay for the crime. Same rules apply to all of us.

I have compassion, understanding, and empathy for people, but this is just insane. Your financial status isn't a reason to kill someone, because you're to lazy to get a life like the rest of us.
